Just when everybody thought that Wynn may now heave a sigh of relief after securing a legal victory over Sommerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone two months ago, an international developer has stepped in town to run after his profits in the state of Massachusetts.
Developer Eugene McCain has launched an aggressive effort to win a statewide vote in November on the slots parlor, and supporters have collected enough signatures for a local referendum, scheduled for Oct. 18, according to the Boston Globe.
It was reported that the Revere slots parlor’s proposed site is just three miles from Everett casino – and Wynn executives are not happy about it.
Saying that it would go against the 2011 casino law that called for a single slots parlor in Massachusetts, Wynn Resorts has opposed the plan but cut short on answering whether they plan to finance an opposition to a statewide ballot question that would authorize the slots parlor, known as Question 1.
